I see they classified the 2002 in H. Now if they had done this 25 years ago--.
When I ran my 2002 in F my times were good enough for top 5 in H. I was running mid pack in F at Mid Ohio.
I think the 2002 can be a good contender in H. The weight is a little high.

I don't think "contender" is the right word - poor aero, SOHC, 2350lbs, avg. HP brakes, antiquated/limited parts availability - not seeing one good trait. The only potential savior over the 318 is MAYBE it breaths better vs. the crappy early FI intake manifold on the early E30.

All that said, I still think H is the place right now - so the more the merrier.

Is this the first 2 ltr in HP ?

 

[Greg Amy]

No. VW 2L have been in there for some years.

But they're still fraidy skeered of my Porsche 914 with the 90hp 2L VW bus air-cooled engine. **SO** much more car and engine than a BMW 2002, I tell ya...
